Using the REST API to populate a pick list on Clarizen

Hi,

First of all, as I said in another post, I'm new at using the Clarizen REST API.

I have a specific request for a custom action that would allow all users, no matter their licence type, to select the name of a work item in a pick list and then automatically send an email to the Project Manager to be added as a resource.

What I thought I would do is as follows:

1) Create a pick list on the Organization level

2) Populate that pick list with the names of all active and reportable work items in Clarizen

3) Send an email.

The issue though is in step 2) : it doesn't seem to be doable using a workflow/scheduled workflow rule and so I thought it could be done using the API. However, I'm having difficulty grasping the mechanism behind the REST API:

Clarizen is a global leader in collaborative work management software, bringing together cross-company project management, configurable workflow automation,
in-context collaboration and a tailored, role-based experience, all built on a secure, scalable enterprise platform.
